Music stimulates the capabilities of both hemispheres of the brain, enhancing children’s overall skills through musical learning. It is, therefore, a cross tool for learning many different subjects. This shows that there is a direct relationship between early music education and cognitive growth in other subjects, including math, languages, and science. Musical intelligence can manifest itself very early; it only requires that parents and educators encourage and support the musical interests of children in a caring, friendly manner. This book offers a series of practical resources for both the home and the classroom to develop and improve music education in all settings.
